Evaluation of preoperative coagulation function changes and deep vein thrombosis incidence in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Objective: This study involved an analysis of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) incidence and changes in coagulation function among elderly patients suffering from hip fractures. The objective was to offer guidance on the prevention and management of preoperative DVT in the lower extremities of elderly individuals with hip fractures.

Methods: A total of 282 elderly individuals with a hip fracture were enrolled and divided into two groups based on the location of the fracture: femoral intertrochanteric fracture (FIF, 161 individuals) and femoral neck fracture (FNF, 121 individuals).

A retrospective study: exploring preoperative hyponatremia in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Background: This research aims to examine the frequency, age-related distribution, and intensity of preoperative hyponatremia among elderly individuals with hip fractures. This study aims to provide valuable insights into the diagnosis of preoperative hyponatremia in this patient population.

Methods: This research involved the analysis of clinical data obtained from 419 elderly individuals with hip fractures (referred to as the fracture group) and 166 elderly individuals undergoing routine health examinations (designated as the control group).

Incidence and clinical significance of abnormalities in potassium, sodium and calcium levels in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the incidence and clinical significance of sodium, potassium and calcium electrolyte disturbances in elderly patients with hip fracture before an operation.

Methods: The clinical data of 220 patients with intertrochanteric fracture and 261 patients with femoral neck fracture from September 2013 to December 2016 in our hospital (≥60 years old) was reviewed. The sodium, potassium and calcium values, and the underlying diseases of patients were recorded after the first blood test.

An anterior neurovascular interval approach to coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus: a prospective clinical study with short- to mid-term follow-up.

Object: To explore the treatment effect of the anterior medial neurovascular interval approach to coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus.

Methods: This prospective study included two female patients who were 30-64 years old, with a mean age of 47 years. Fractures were caused by falling from a bicycle.

Correlation analysis of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and spinal sagittal imbalance.

Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and spinal sagittal imbalance, in order to provide a reference for clinical treatment.

Methods: From September 2013 to March 2015, 60 elderly patients with old osteoporotic vertebral compression factures (observation group) and 60 healthy elderly people (control group) were studied. Whole-spine anteroposterior and lateral view X‑ray photographs were taken from all participants, the number and location of fractured vertebrae were recorded, and sagittal parameters in both groups were compared.
